Definitions
- This invention relates to dispersions having improved stability, and, more particularly, to aqueous pigmented inks for ink jet printers having improved stability wherein the pigment dispersant is an ABC triblock polymer.
- Ink jet printing is a non-impact printing process in which a digital signal produces droplets of ink on media substrates such as paper or transparency films.
- resistive heating is used to vaporize the ink, which is expelled through an orifice in the ink jet printhead toward the substrate. This process is known as firing, in which water is vaporized by the heat, causing a very rapid and drastic local compositional change and temperature rise. This occurs repeatedly at high frequency during the life of the printhead. In the orifice areas, the ink composition can drastically change from water-rich to solvent-rich as well due to evaporation of water.
- Aqueous pigment dispersions are well known and have been used commercially in films such as paints on substrates.
- a pigment dispersion is generally stabilized by either a non-ionic or ionic technique.
- the pigment particles are stabilized by a polymer that has a water-soluble, hydrophilic section that extends into the water and provides entropic or steric stabilization.
- Representative polymers useful for this purpose include polyvinyl alcohol, cellulosics, and ethylene oxide modified phenols.
- the non-ionic technique is not sensitive to pH changes or ionic contamination, it has a major disadvantage for many applications in that the final product is water sensitive. Thus, if used in ink applications or the like, the pigment will tend to smear upon exposure to moisture.
- the pigment particles are stabilized by a polymer of an ion containing monomer, such as neutralized acrylic, maleic, or vinyl sulfonic acid.
- the polymer provides stabilization through a charged double layer mechanism whereby ionic repulsion hinders the particles from flocculation. Since the neutralizing component tends to evaporate after application, the polymer then has reduced water solubility and the final product is not water sensitive.
- a polymer dispersant which could provide both steric and charged double layer stabilization forces would make a much more robust pigment dispersion.
- One aspect of the invention is to provide an aqueous dispersion having improved stability comprising:
- an ABC triblock polymer comprising an A block which is a hydrophilic polymer, a B block which is a polymer capable of binding to the particulate solid, a C block different from the A and the B block, which is a hydrophobic or hydrophilic polymer; and wherein the A and C blocks are end blocks.
- the invention provides stable aqueous dispersions comprising solids, in particular pigments, having broad compatibility in systems containing water miscible organic cosolvents, aqueous additives such as thickeners, latex emulsions, etc. Further, when these dispersions are used as aqueous ink jet ink compositions, they have shown to be extremely flexible and able to adjust to system changes such as drying of the coating or the firing conditions and exhibit good resistance to flocculation and develop high color strength and gloss.
- the dispersions of this invention have improved stability. They are particularly well suited for use as aqueous ink jet ink compositions for ink jet printers in general, and thermal ink jet printers in particular.
- the ink jet ink composition encompasses pigment-based colorant inks.
- the inks may be adapted to the requirements of a particular ink jet printer to provide a balance of light stability, smear resistance, viscosity, surface tension, optical density, and crust resistance.
- the aqueous carrier medium is water or a mixture of water and at least one water soluble organic component.
- Deionized water is commonly used.
- the organic component may comprise organic solvents, polymeric binders, thickeners, thixotropic agents, coating aids, etc.
- the aqueous carrier medium is typically a mixture of water and at least one water-soluble organic solvent.
- water-soluble organic solvents are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Selection of a suitable mixture of water and water soluble organic solvent depends upon requirements of the specific application, such as desired surface tension and viscosity, the selected pigment, drying time of the pigmented coating or ink jet ink, and the type of media substrate onto which the coating or ink will be printed.
- a mixture of diethylene glycol and deionized water is preferred as the aqueous carrier medium for ink jet inks, with the composition comprising between 30% and 95%, preferably 60% to 95% water, by weight based on the total weight of the aqueous carrier medium.
- the particulate solids useful in the present invention may be a pigment, colloidal silver halide, metallic flake, a herbicide, an insecticide, or biomaterials such as drugs, etc. depending upon the particular application of the dispersions of this invention.
- the particulate solid is a pigment or a mixture of two or more pigments.
- the term "pigment” as used herein means an insoluble colorant.
- the particular particulate solid selected must be capable of binding with the B block of the ABC triblock polymer.
- the particulate solid must have "binding sites" which will permit binding with the polymer.
- Most of the above-mentioned particulate solids have very specific functional groups on their surfaces.
- all carbon blacks have chemisorbed oxygenated complexes, primarily acidic in nature (e.g. carboxylic, quinonic, lactonic or phenolic groups) on their surfaces to varying degrees depending on the conditions of manufacture.
- acidic groups on the pigment surface provide binding sites for dispersants with basic functions such as amines.
- Other pigments with acidic or basic functional groups on their surface, or which can by modified to contain such groups, are also known.
- almost all of the organic color pigments and many of the surface treatment compounds have aromatic features in their structures, providing sites for additional aromatic interactions with the dispersant.
- pigments which may be used to advantage include azo, anthraquinone, thioindigo, oxazine, quinacridone, lakes and toners of acidic dye stuffs or basic dye stuffs, copper phthalocyanine and its derivatives, and various mixtures and modifications thereof.
- the particle size has an influence on the dispersion stability. Brownian motion of minute particles will help prevent the particles from flocculation and settling.
- the particular particle size should thus be selected to optimize the stability of the dispersion, consistent with the other requirements of the particular intended application of the dispersion.
- the pigment particles need to be sufficiently small to permit free flow of the ink through the ink jet printing device, especially at the ejecting nozzles that usually have diameter ranging from 10 micron to 50 micron.
- the range of useful particle size is approximately 0.005 micron to 15 micron, and preferably between 0.01 to 5 microns, more preferably from 0.01 to 1 micron.
- the selected pigment may be used in dry or wet form.
- pigments are usually manufactured in aqueous media and the resulting pigment is obtained as water wet presscake.
- presscake form the pigment is not aggregated to the extent that it is in dry form.
- pigments in water wet presscake form do not require as much deaggregation in the process of preparing the inks from dry pigments.
- Representative commercial dry and presscake pigments that may be used in practicing the invention are disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Fine particles of metal or metal oxides (such as copper, iron, steel, aluminum, silica, alumina, titania, and the like) also may be used to practice the invention and may find application in the preparation of magnetic ink jet inks.
- the ABC triblock polymer comprises an A block which is a hydrophilic polymer, a B block which is a polymer capable of binding to the particulate solid, and a C block, different than the A or B block, which is a hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymer, and wherein the A & C blocks are end blocks.
- the function of the A block is to facilitate dispersion of the pigment in water.
- the A block is a hydrophilic, or water-soluble, polymer or copolymer. Some examples are poly(vinyl alcohol), acrylic homopolymers and copolymers and polyethylene oxide. Representative A block acrylic polymers are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698 the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. In that application, the hydrophilic polymer which serves to disperse the pigment in water comprises the B block, but would comprise the A block in the present polymer.
- Nonionic acrylic A block monomers may be used, such as ethoxytriethyleneglycol-methacrylate.
- the acid, amino, or water-soluble monomer may be used in a range of 10 to 100%, preferably in a range of 20 to 100% of the A block composition.
- Salts of these monomers are prepared by neutralizing with neutralizing agents.
- the neutralizing agent may be selected from the group consisting of organic bases such as amines, alkanol amines, etc., and alkali metal hydroxides such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, etc.
- Amino monomers may be neutralized with organic or inorganic acids, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, p-toluene sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, etc. Amino monomers may also be quaternized with alkylating agents such as methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, methyl-p-toluene sulfonate, etc.
- organic or inorganic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, p-toluene sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, etc.
- Amino monomers may also be quaternized with alkylating agents such as methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, methyl-p-toluene sulfonate, etc.
- the A block generally will constitute 10 to 90%, preferably 25 to 65% of the entire block polymer by weight.
- the function of the B block, or center block, of the ABC triblock polymer dispersant is to bind the polymeric dispersant to the surface of the particulate solid, e.g., pigment particle. Strong interaction of a pigment with a polymeric dispersant is obtained when the dispersant has one or more attached structures which are the same as the particle. A common way that this may be accomplished is through general hydrophobic attraction between the B block of the polymer and the particle surface. For example, if the particle has, or is modified to contain a hydrophobic surface, a block polymer with a hydrophobic block can bind to such surface through hydrophobic interactions.
- Am example of a B block with good hydrophobic binding ability is poly(n-butyl methacrylate).
- a block polymer can bind to a particulate solid through aromatic interactions. If the particle contains aromatic or aromatic-like groups, or if the particle surface has been pretreated with an aromatic substance, then aromatic groups in the B block of an ABC triblock dispersant may provide good binding to the particle.
- a block copolymer can also bind to a particulate solid through ionic bonds. For example, a particle containing acidic groups, e.g., sulfonic acid groups, can bind strongly to a block polymer in which one of the blocks contains basic groups, e.g., amine groups such as those derived from 2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate. Similarly, a particle containing basic groups, e.g., amine groups, can bind to a block polymer through acidic groups.
- Covalent bonding provides a fourth, and especially strong, mode of binding a block polymer dispersant to a particulate solid.
- a particle with carboxylic groups will react with a polymer which contains epoxy groups to form ester linkages.
- an ABC triblock polymer containing glycidyl methacrylate groups in the B block will form strong links to a carboxylic acid-containing particle.
- B block of the present polymer Representative acrylic polymers which may be used to advantage as the B block of the present polymer are disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698 as the A block.
- Preferred B blocks are homopolymers and copolymers of benzyl methacrylate and/or 2-phenylethyl methacrylate.
- the function of the C Block is to provide stability of the dispersion in the presence of organic components which may be in the aqueous carrier medium.
- Organic components often contribute to flocculation of aqueous pigment dispersions.
- the constituent monomer(s) of the C block may be hydrophilic or hydrophobic depending on the properties of the organic components, and they may include monomers which are constituents of the B block. Structural similarity between the C block and the organic component will generally result in good compatibility.
- n-butyl methacrylate and n-butoxyethyl methacrylate have good compatibility with butyl cellosolve or butyl carbitol; poly(ethoxytriethylene glycol methacrylate) has good compatibility with poly(ethylene oxide) as well as water because it is hydrophilic.
- Preferred monomers for the C block are butyl methacrylate and ethoxy triethylene glycol methacrylate.
- the C block may also function to improve polymer properties even in the absence of organic solvents.
- At least one of the blocks of the ABC triblock polymer to comprise monomers having oligoether moieties of the general formula
- R H, or methyl
- R 1 alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms or, phenyl
- n 1-20.
- the polymers can be just hydrophilic but water insoluble to completely water soluble. The solubility of the polymer increases as the number of oxyethylene units increases.
- These monomers can be advantageously used in any one of the blocks to adjust the physical properties, e.g., Tg, of the polymer dispersants of this invention while maintaining the compatibility with an aqueous dispersion system.
- Some examples of these monomers include ethoxyethyl methacrylate, butoxyethyl methacrylate, ethoxy-triethylene methacrylate and methoxypolyethylene glycol methacrylate.
- Monomers of this formula can also be advantageously used in other types of polymers such as random polymers, AB block polymers, BAB triblock polymers, branched polymers, and graft polymers.
- the ABC triblock polymers that are selected to advantage in practicing the present invention have an average number molecular weight below 20,000, preferably below 15,000, and typically in the range of 1,000-7,500.
- Particularly preferred acrylic ABC triblock polymers are disclosed in Assignee's copending application U.S. application Ser. No. 07/838,165 filed Feb. 20, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,219,945, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Abstract
Aqueous dispersions having improved stability and which are particularly well suited for use as aqueous ink jet ink compositions comprise an aqueous carrier medium which comprises water or a mixture of water and at least one organic component; a particulate solid, preferably a pigment; and an ABC triblock polymer comprising an A block which is a hydrophilic polymer, a B block which is a polymer capable of binding to the particulate solid, a C block, different from the A and B block, which is a hydrophobic or hydrophilic polymer; and wherein the A and C blocks are end blocks.
Description
This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 08/188,349 filed Jan. 28, 1994, now abandoned.
This invention relates to dispersions having improved stability, and, more particularly, to aqueous pigmented inks for ink jet printers having improved stability wherein the pigment dispersant is an ABC triblock polymer.
Ink jet printing is a non-impact printing process in which a digital signal produces droplets of ink on media substrates such as paper or transparency films. In thermal ink jet printing, resistive heating is used to vaporize the ink, which is expelled through an orifice in the ink jet printhead toward the substrate. This process is known as firing, in which water is vaporized by the heat, causing a very rapid and drastic local compositional change and temperature rise. This occurs repeatedly at high frequency during the life of the printhead. In the orifice areas, the ink composition can drastically change from water-rich to solvent-rich as well due to evaporation of water. This may cause the pigment particles to flocculate around the orifice in the printhead, eventually leading to plugging of the orifice in the printer mechanism from which droplets of ink are expelled. This will lead to misdirection of the ink drop or prevention of drop ejection.
In the conventional coating applications, many additives of organic nature are used to impart the desired physical properties for the final use. Examples include polymer binders, thickeners, thixotropic agents, coating aids, etc. During the drying process, these components are concentrated. The pigment dispersion needs to accommodate such changes in order to maintain the uniformity and color quality for the final coatings.
Aqueous pigment dispersions are well known and have been used commercially in films such as paints on substrates. A pigment dispersion is generally stabilized by either a non-ionic or ionic technique. In the non-ionic technique, the pigment particles are stabilized by a polymer that has a water-soluble, hydrophilic section that extends into the water and provides entropic or steric stabilization. Representative polymers useful for this purpose include polyvinyl alcohol, cellulosics, and ethylene oxide modified phenols. While the non-ionic technique is not sensitive to pH changes or ionic contamination, it has a major disadvantage for many applications in that the final product is water sensitive. Thus, if used in ink applications or the like, the pigment will tend to smear upon exposure to moisture.
In the ionic technique, the pigment particles are stabilized by a polymer of an ion containing monomer, such as neutralized acrylic, maleic, or vinyl sulfonic acid. The polymer provides stabilization through a charged double layer mechanism whereby ionic repulsion hinders the particles from flocculation. Since the neutralizing component tends to evaporate after application, the polymer then has reduced water solubility and the final product is not water sensitive. Ideally, a polymer dispersant which could provide both steric and charged double layer stabilization forces would make a much more robust pigment dispersion.
Polymer dispersants having both random and block structures have been disclosed. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,597,794 proposes an aqueous ink dispersion for ink jet printers in which the pigment is contained in a polymer having ionic hydrophilic segments and aromatic hydrophobic segments that adhere to the pigment surface. U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, teaches the use of AB or BAB block polymers as pigment dispersants for aqueous ink jet inks. While both the random and block polymer dispersants offer improved stability for the dispersed pigment, further improvements are desired for more advanced high quality coating applications.
Accordingly, the need exists for dispersants which will provide improved dispersion stability, flexibility for adjusting to a changing environment and which provide dispersions with improved coating quality.
One aspect of the invention is to provide an aqueous dispersion having improved stability comprising:
(a) an aqueous carrier medium;
(b) a particulate solid; and
(c) an ABC triblock polymer comprising an A block which is a hydrophilic polymer, a B block which is a polymer capable of binding to the particulate solid, a C block different from the A and the B block, which is a hydrophobic or hydrophilic polymer; and wherein the A and C blocks are end blocks.
The invention provides stable aqueous dispersions comprising solids, in particular pigments, having broad compatibility in systems containing water miscible organic cosolvents, aqueous additives such as thickeners, latex emulsions, etc. Further, when these dispersions are used as aqueous ink jet ink compositions, they have shown to be extremely flexible and able to adjust to system changes such as drying of the coating or the firing conditions and exhibit good resistance to flocculation and develop high color strength and gloss.
The dispersions of this invention have improved stability. They are particularly well suited for use as aqueous ink jet ink compositions for ink jet printers in general, and thermal ink jet printers in particular. The ink jet ink composition encompasses pigment-based colorant inks.
The inks may be adapted to the requirements of a particular ink jet printer to provide a balance of light stability, smear resistance, viscosity, surface tension, optical density, and crust resistance.
The aqueous carrier medium is water or a mixture of water and at least one water soluble organic component. Deionized water is commonly used. The organic component may comprise organic solvents, polymeric binders, thickeners, thixotropic agents, coating aids, etc.
For ink jet inks the aqueous carrier medium is typically a mixture of water and at least one water-soluble organic solvent. Representative examples of water-soluble organic solvents are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Selection of a suitable mixture of water and water soluble organic solvent depends upon requirements of the specific application, such as desired surface tension and viscosity, the selected pigment, drying time of the pigmented coating or ink jet ink, and the type of media substrate onto which the coating or ink will be printed. A mixture of diethylene glycol and deionized water is preferred as the aqueous carrier medium for ink jet inks, with the composition comprising between 30% and 95%, preferably 60% to 95% water, by weight based on the total weight of the aqueous carrier medium.
The particulate solids useful in the present invention may be a pigment, colloidal silver halide, metallic flake, a herbicide, an insecticide, or biomaterials such as drugs, etc. depending upon the particular application of the dispersions of this invention. For example, if the intended use is in an ink or a paint, the particulate solid is a pigment or a mixture of two or more pigments. The term "pigment" as used herein means an insoluble colorant.
The particular particulate solid selected must be capable of binding with the B block of the ABC triblock polymer. In other words, the particulate solid must have "binding sites" which will permit binding with the polymer. Most of the above-mentioned particulate solids have very specific functional groups on their surfaces.
For example, in the case of pigments, all carbon blacks have chemisorbed oxygenated complexes, primarily acidic in nature (e.g. carboxylic, quinonic, lactonic or phenolic groups) on their surfaces to varying degrees depending on the conditions of manufacture. These acidic groups on the pigment surface provide binding sites for dispersants with basic functions such as amines. Other pigments with acidic or basic functional groups on their surface, or which can by modified to contain such groups, are also known. Furthermore, almost all of the organic color pigments and many of the surface treatment compounds have aromatic features in their structures, providing sites for additional aromatic interactions with the dispersant. Examples of pigments which may be used to advantage include azo, anthraquinone, thioindigo, oxazine, quinacridone, lakes and toners of acidic dye stuffs or basic dye stuffs, copper phthalocyanine and its derivatives, and various mixtures and modifications thereof.
The particle size has an influence on the dispersion stability. Brownian motion of minute particles will help prevent the particles from flocculation and settling. The particular particle size should thus be selected to optimize the stability of the dispersion, consistent with the other requirements of the particular intended application of the dispersion.
For example, in ink jet inks, the pigment particles need to be sufficiently small to permit free flow of the ink through the ink jet printing device, especially at the ejecting nozzles that usually have diameter ranging from 10 micron to 50 micron. In addition, it is also desirable to use small particles for maximum color strength and gloss. For ink jet inks, the range of useful particle size is approximately 0.005 micron to 15 micron, and preferably between 0.01 to 5 microns, more preferably from 0.01 to 1 micron.
Also in the case of pigments, the selected pigment may be used in dry or wet form. For example, pigments are usually manufactured in aqueous media and the resulting pigment is obtained as water wet presscake. In presscake form, the pigment is not aggregated to the extent that it is in dry form. Thus, pigments in water wet presscake form do not require as much deaggregation in the process of preparing the inks from dry pigments. Representative commercial dry and presscake pigments that may be used in practicing the invention are disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Fine particles of metal or metal oxides (such as copper, iron, steel, aluminum, silica, alumina, titania, and the like) also may be used to practice the invention and may find application in the preparation of magnetic ink jet inks.
The ABC triblock polymer comprises an A block which is a hydrophilic polymer, a B block which is a polymer capable of binding to the particulate solid, and a C block, different than the A or B block, which is a hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymer, and wherein the A & C blocks are end blocks.
A Block Polymers:
The function of the A block is to facilitate dispersion of the pigment in water. The A block is a hydrophilic, or water-soluble, polymer or copolymer. Some examples are poly(vinyl alcohol), acrylic homopolymers and copolymers and polyethylene oxide. Representative A block acrylic polymers are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698 the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. In that application, the hydrophilic polymer which serves to disperse the pigment in water comprises the B block, but would comprise the A block in the present polymer.
Nonionic acrylic A block monomers may be used, such as ethoxytriethyleneglycol-methacrylate. When the A block is an acrylic copolymer, the acid, amino, or water-soluble monomer may be used in a range of 10 to 100%, preferably in a range of 20 to 100% of the A block composition. Salts of these monomers are prepared by neutralizing with neutralizing agents. For example, with acid monomers the neutralizing agent may be selected from the group consisting of organic bases such as amines, alkanol amines, etc., and alkali metal hydroxides such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, etc. Amino monomers may be neutralized with organic or inorganic acids, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, p-toluene sulfonic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, etc. Amino monomers may also be quaternized with alkylating agents such as methyl iodide, benzyl chloride, methyl-p-toluene sulfonate, etc.
The A block generally will constitute 10 to 90%, preferably 25 to 65% of the entire block polymer by weight.
B Block Polymers:
The function of the B block, or center block, of the ABC triblock polymer dispersant is to bind the polymeric dispersant to the surface of the particulate solid, e.g., pigment particle. Strong interaction of a pigment with a polymeric dispersant is obtained when the dispersant has one or more attached structures which are the same as the particle. A common way that this may be accomplished is through general hydrophobic attraction between the B block of the polymer and the particle surface. For example, if the particle has, or is modified to contain a hydrophobic surface, a block polymer with a hydrophobic block can bind to such surface through hydrophobic interactions. Am example of a B block with good hydrophobic binding ability is poly(n-butyl methacrylate).
Alternatively, a block polymer can bind to a particulate solid through aromatic interactions. If the particle contains aromatic or aromatic-like groups, or if the particle surface has been pretreated with an aromatic substance, then aromatic groups in the B block of an ABC triblock dispersant may provide good binding to the particle. A block copolymer can also bind to a particulate solid through ionic bonds. For example, a particle containing acidic groups, e.g., sulfonic acid groups, can bind strongly to a block polymer in which one of the blocks contains basic groups, e.g., amine groups such as those derived from 2-N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate. Similarly, a particle containing basic groups, e.g., amine groups, can bind to a block polymer through acidic groups.
Covalent bonding provides a fourth, and especially strong, mode of binding a block polymer dispersant to a particulate solid. For example, a particle with carboxylic groups will react with a polymer which contains epoxy groups to form ester linkages. Thus, an ABC triblock polymer containing glycidyl methacrylate groups in the B block will form strong links to a carboxylic acid-containing particle.
Representative acrylic polymers which may be used to advantage as the B block of the present polymer are disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,085,698 as the A block. Preferred B blocks are homopolymers and copolymers of benzyl methacrylate and/or 2-phenylethyl methacrylate.
C Block Polymers:
The function of the C Block is to provide stability of the dispersion in the presence of organic components which may be in the aqueous carrier medium. Organic components often contribute to flocculation of aqueous pigment dispersions. When the C block of an ABC triblock dispersant has good solubility in the organic components, resistance to flocculation can be markedly improved. The constituent monomer(s) of the C block may be hydrophilic or hydrophobic depending on the properties of the organic components, and they may include monomers which are constituents of the B block. Structural similarity between the C block and the organic component will generally result in good compatibility. Thus, n-butyl methacrylate and n-butoxyethyl methacrylate have good compatibility with butyl cellosolve or butyl carbitol; poly(ethoxytriethylene glycol methacrylate) has good compatibility with poly(ethylene oxide) as well as water because it is hydrophilic. Preferred monomers for the C block are butyl methacrylate and ethoxy triethylene glycol methacrylate. The C block may also function to improve polymer properties even in the absence of organic solvents.
It is particularly preferred for at least one of the blocks of the ABC triblock polymer to comprise monomers having oligoether moieties of the general formula
CH.sub.2 :CRC(O)O(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n R.sub.1
where R=H, or methyl; R1 =alkyl of 1-4 carbon atoms or, phenyl; and n=1-20. Depending on the number, n, of oxyethylene units, the polymers can be just hydrophilic but water insoluble to completely water soluble. The solubility of the polymer increases as the number of oxyethylene units increases. These monomers can be advantageously used in any one of the blocks to adjust the physical properties, e.g., Tg, of the polymer dispersants of this invention while maintaining the compatibility with an aqueous dispersion system.
Some examples of these monomers include ethoxyethyl methacrylate, butoxyethyl methacrylate, ethoxy-triethylene methacrylate and methoxypolyethylene glycol methacrylate. Monomers of this formula can also be advantageously used in other types of polymers such as random polymers, AB block polymers, BAB triblock polymers, branched polymers, and graft polymers.
The ABC triblock polymers that are selected to advantage in practicing the present invention have an average number molecular weight below 20,000, preferably below 15,000, and typically in the range of 1,000-7,500. Particularly preferred acrylic ABC triblock polymers are disclosed in Assignee's copending application U.S. application Ser. No. 07/838,165 filed Feb. 20, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,219,945, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
Methods For Synthesis Of ABC Triblock Polymers:
Well defined ABC triblock polymers, in which the chemical constitution of each polymeric block differs from the other two, can be readily synthesized with many of the new methodologies for performing "living" polymerizations. Thus, binary and ternary block copolymers, based on esters, epoxides, and lactones, can be synthesized using novel metalloporphyrin initiators as described by Aida et al. in Macromolecules, 1985, 18, 1049, and Kuroki et al. in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1991, 113, 5903. Anionic polymerization of vinyl monomers permits the synthesis of block copolymers of hydrocarbons as well as acrylics as described by Morton in "Anionic Polymerization: Principles and Practice" Academic Press, NY, 1983. Cationic polymerization of oxazolines as disclosed by Kobayashi et al. in Macromolecules, 1987, 20, 1729 and references cited therein, lactones as disclosed by Jonte et al. in J. Macromol. Sci. Chem., 1986, A23, 495, and alkyl vinyl ethers as disclosed by Aoshima et al. in Macromolecules, 1985, provide additional ways of preparing block polymers. Group transfer polymerization of acrylic monomers as disclosed by Webster in U.S. Pat. No. 4,417,034, 1983, and aldol group transfer polymerization of silyl enol ethers as disclosed by Sogah et al. in Macromolecules, 1986, 19, 1775, are particularly useful methods of producing block polymers.
Using one of the living polymerization methods, ABC block polymers are prepared by sequential addition of three monomers, or groups of monomers, to a suitable initiator.
An alternative approach is to prepare a living AB diblock polymer followed by reaction of the living end with that of a complimentary living polymer. For example, in the presence of an anion catalyst, the aldehyde end group of a poly(trialkylsilyl vinyl ether) will condense with the silyl ketene acetal end group of a living AB diblock copolymer of alkyl methacrylates prepared by group transfer polymerization to give an ABC triblock polymer. Hydrolysis of the trialkylsilyl ether groups of that end block will then convert that block to a hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) block.
Another alternative approach is to prepare a terminal-functional AB diblock polymer using a functional initiator (or terminator) for a living polymerization. A complimentary terminal-functional polymer can then be reacted with the end group of the AB block copolymer to give an ABC triblock polymer.
Thus, the types of monomers that may be incorporated into the ABC triblock polymers are methacrylates, acrylates, vinylaromatics, diene hydrocarbons, lactones, lactams, oxazolines, epoxides, oxetanes, thioepoxides, alkyl vinyl ethers, and trialkylsilyl vinyl ethers. For simplicity and convenience, the synthesis of ABC triblock polymers by sequential addition of monomers (or groups of monomers) in a living polymerization process is preferred. Group transfer polymerization of methacrylate monomers is the most preferred method.
Depending on the requirements for the application, various types of aqueous additives can be used to modify the properties of the dispersion, as known to those skilled in the art. Examples include organic cosolvents, coalescing agents, polymeric binders including the water soluble polymers and the water dispersible latex emulsions, thickeners, thixotropic agents, surfactants, coating aids, biocides, sequestering agents, etc.
For ink jet ink applications of the present dispersions, anionic, cationic, nonionic, or amphoteric surfactants may be present in the amount of 0.01-5% and preferably 0.2-2%, based on the total weight of the ink. Biocides such as Dowicides® (Dow Chemical, Midland, MI), Nuosept® (Huls America, Inc., Piscataway, NJ), Omidines® (Olin Corp., Cheshire, CT), Nopcocides® (Henkel Corp., Ambler, PA), Troysans® (Troy Chemical Corp., Newark, NJ) and sodium benzoate; sequestering agents such as EDTA; and other known additives, such as humectants, viscosity modifiers and other acrylic or non-acrylic polymers may also be added to improve various properties of the ink compositions.
In a preferred embodiment, the present dispersions are employed as pigment dispersions for aqueous ink jet ink compositions which may be prepared in any of the conventional methods as known to those skilled in the art. The preferred formulation in an ink jet ink compositions is
(a) aqueous carrier medium: approximately 70 to 99.8%, preferably approximately 94 to 99.8%, based on total weight of the ink when an organic pigment is selected; approximately 25 to 99.8%, preferably approximately 70 to 99.8% when an inorganic pigment is selected;
(b) pigments: up to approximately 30% pigment by weight for organic pigments, but generally in the range of approximately 0.1 to 15%, preferably approximately 0.1 to 8%, by weight of the total ink composition; with inorganic pigments (which have higher specific gravities), higher concentrations are employed, and may be as high as 75% in some cases.
(c) ABC triblock polymer: approximately 0.1 to 30% by weight of the total ink composition, preferably in the range of approximately 0.1% to 8% by weight of the total ink composition.
Jet velocity, separation length of the droplets, drop size, and stream stability are greatly affected by the surface tension and the viscosity of the ink. Pigmented ink jet inks suitable for use with ink jet printing systems should have a surface tension in the range of about 20 dyne/cm to about 70 dyne/cm and, more preferably, in the range 30 dyne/cm to about 70 dyne/cm at 20° C. Acceptable viscosities are no greater than 20 cP, and preferably in the range of about 1.0 cP to about 10.0 cP at 20° C.
The ABC triblock polymers of the invention may be designed to provide excellent dispersing power for organic and inorganic solids in aqueous media, or mixed aqueous-organic media. The dispersions with improved properties are particularly useful for coating applications such as paints and color films for imaging applications. They are also very useful for various types of inks, in particular, ink jet inks.
The following examples further illustrate but do not limit the invention.
